This is the only UML book for Visual Basic developers that covers design patterns. It gives readers design techniques that will make their code more modifiable and reusable in all kinds of applications.
Welcome to our latest book. Tis Introduction will discuss the purpose of this book and the various sections into which it has been divided. Designing an application is a complex task and, overtime, as application have become more complex, certain standards for analyzing business problems and designing the software solutions to fix them have come to the forefront. This book covers two of those standards, design patterns and the Unified Modeling Language(UML) diagrams used to document them.
This is a practical tutorial to writing Visual Basic (VB6 and VB.NET) programs using some of the most common design patterns. This book also provides a convenient way for VB6 programmers to migrate to VB.NET and use its more powerful object-oriented features. Organized as a series of short chapters that each describe a design pattern, Visual Basic Design Patterns provides one or more complete working visual examples of programs using that pattern, along with UML diagrams illustrating how the classes interact. Each example is a visual program that students can run and study on the companion CD making the pattern as concrete as possible.
Reed's guide includes detailed coverage of architecting VB enterprise applications and features working examples and step-by-step instructions for planning and development of an order entry system, detailing do's and don't's for analysis, design and construction. CD-ROM contains several templates for applying UML, as well as complete Rational Rose models for the sample applications.
A how-to guide for Java programmers who want to use design patterns when developing real-world enterprise applications This practical book explores the subject of design patterns, or patterns that occur in the design phase of a project's life cycle. With an emphasis on Java for the enterprise, Mark Grand guides Java programmers on how to apply traditional and new patterns when designing a large enterprise application. The author clearly explains how existing patterns work with the new enterprise design patterns and demonstrates through case studies how to use design patterns in the real world. Features include over 50 design patterns, each mapped out by UML, plus an overview of UML 1.4 and how it fits in with the different phases of a project's life cycle.
This book provides the fastest path to VB expertise for programmers transitioning to VB from another object-oriented language. It quickly brings experienced Java, C#, and C++ programmers to a high level of proficiency in VB. It also provides in-depth advice on the wise use of VB to exploit the power of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). Coverage carefully describes how VB works, discusses the most important issues for professional VB coding, and demonstrates with precise examples how to design and code effective VB programs. Its succinctness and clarity make it appropriate for anyone familiar with any object-oriented language.
Design Patterns are a type of pattern used in the initial design phase of an object-oriented development project Documents 46 Visual Basic .NET design patterns, including 20 that have never before been published Features case studies that demonstrate how to use design patterns effectively in the real world-and even explains where not to use design patterns Companion Web site includes all code and UML models from the book as well as links to appropriate software downloads
* Explains through case studies how design patterns can improve the design of the individual tiers in an application. * Shows how design patterns can be used in conjunction with .NET Remoting across the tiers in an application. * The emphasis throughout is on how design patterns can be used in real applications to write more robust and flexible code.
The growing trend toward objects and component-based application development is leading developers to rely increasingly on visual modeling tools as the preferred method for combining reusable components with visual code. By exploring the basics of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation and the use of UML diagrams, this book offers a useful introduction and tutorial for Visual Basic developers and designers.
Accelerated VB 9.0 is the fastest path to VB mastery. All VB programmers need to know and understand how VB really works but very few books address this. No other book covers the topic in the depth that this book does. It teaches both core VB language concepts and how to use them in high-performance code. All programmers moving to VB from any language or moving up to VB 9.0 from VB 2005 will find this book well worth buying, reading, and using as a reference.
